SUCCEEDING IN YOUR BUSINESS: Avoiding "Straw People" When Buying a Small Business
"My wife and I are looking to buy a business together. We heard about a great local business that's for sale, but when we inquired with the business broker handling the sale, we learned that it was already under contract to be sold. However, the broker told us the buyer was getting 'cold feet' and probably wouldn't want to go through with the sale. Since the buyer was getting a terrific price for this business, what this broker suggested is that we contact the buyer and offer to buy the limited liability company (LLC) he formed to acquire this business. That way, we could become the buyer under the contract of sale and close on this business without the seller changing the deal. The buyer would stay on board as the 'President' of the LLC and sign all of the documents at closing as if he were still the party in charge, so the seller wouldn't suspect anything.
